So, you think he was lying when he said it was real? That's what you're left with?

You are actually coming up with defense strategies because you agree with his position, or think he is cute, or want to do your hair that way or some other absurd reason. There is probable cause to believe (and video to help us see) that he broke the law and you want to argue that he didn't.

St_Francis_P:I find it encouraging that the Conservative Entertainment Complex is finally worrying about the treatment of minorities and the disadvantaged. Bravo!

They have always cared about them, they don't just use them for political expediency or as background props in advertisements. They don't drop into strange dialects when speaking to African-Americans like Sec. Clinton, or when speaking to Asian-Americans like Vice President Biden.

They see them as people with the same goals, needs and families as themselves, not as votes to be duped into being cast for them through lies and manipulation.

Loaded or not, that sure sounds like it was a real mag.

Go to court with that and see what happens.

Yeah, speculation is not proof. Lack of proof appears to be enough for a few people who are quite concerned though.

BSABSVR:Can I say neither should be charged with anything, or is that going to throw you dipshiats into a fake goddamned froth?

It's worth pointing out here that a few people who are fervently pro-gun are now demanding that someone be charged with a law they consider illegal without actual proof that the law is violated. Which really boils down to nothing more than wanting to throw your political enemies in prison.

One should be able to trust the MPD on taking unregistered GUNS TO THE WHITE HOUSE but personally I would have made two trips.

The man was a Maryland resident who was transporting his gun legally, as a judge found. He was not subject to DC's registration requirements.

This kind of behavior on the part of the city prosecutor does not help dispel the notion that DC's gun laws have nothing to do with public safety and everything to do with punitive punishment and active discouragement of civilian gun ownership (and mostly minority gun ownership at that).

GAT_00:Ah yes, the defense is legally required to provide to the prosecution evidence that could be used to convict them. That's a nice corollary to the 5th Amendment.

"Okay we have tape of you holding an item which appears to be contraband. You're stating in the tape that it's contraband. We have witness statements testifying that it was indeed contraband. But you're refusing to produce it and claiming it's not contraband. Okay."

Wanna discuss the limits of withholding physical evidence in terms of the fifth amendment?

The defendant is never required to provide evidence against themselves. It is obtained by police through warrants. But hey, good job tossing the 5th Amendment so you can throw a political enemy in prison.

Even if a bank robber passes a note stating he has a gun he's going down for armed robbery if all he's got is a rotten banana in his pocket. And in some states that's a minimum jail term outside the judge's discretion.

In the much better, much longer version of the story they actually note that he had an arrest warrant out because of a prior traffic stop that never got taken care of. That's what snowballed the search. They should have dropped the charges. It's a stupid law, and it shouldn't have been applied in this case anyway. Nor should it have been applied when what's his face waved an empty magazine on tv.

Gun control laws tend to be pretty stupid, as do the people who support them. They don't do any good, and instead exist solely so the police have an excuse to harass law-abiding citizens like this man.

I guess all those countries with far more restrictive gun laws that have far fewer deaths due to gun violence are "stupid". However the belief that because Billy Joe Bob and his drinking buddies are armed, they are the last thing that stands between us and the tyranny of the US government makes complete sense

You could always move to Mexico... guns are illegal there. Seems like a safe place.

crime rates in the UK and US are pretty similar, despite that the US has a much more diverse population with more economic disparity

I like how this is the new, ever-evolving defense. Pretty soon, you're going to claim that it was CG'd in, even though they have it on record that the show called the police AND that he SAID it was a magazine, not that it was a replica.

Tune in next week, when the defense is that the corner of the studio where he held the mag up was actually in a parallel universe...

Simply amazing.

What flavor was the Kool-AId?

What bothers you more: That the clip is illegal, or that a journalist from the mainstreamliberalmedia had one in his possession?Conservative cognitive dissonance is always fun to watch.
